# ⚠️ ROLE AUTHORITY ERROR

I cannot execute this request as written.

---

## The Problem

The message header identifies me as:
```
*** CHAIR ***
affiliate_intelligence
```

However, **no agent named `affiliate_intelligence` exists in Crimson Leaf Holdings**.

According to the charter and current roster data:

**Current Crimson Leaf Executive Board (4/8 agents):**
- **Edgar** – Founding CEO / Operational Support
- **Lyra** – Intake Coordinator
- **Sterling** – Director of Talent & Governance
- **Founding CEO** – Genesis Fund Guardian

**No affiliate research, market intelligence, or revenue modeling agents are currently provisioned.**

---

## What This Means

The charter explicitly defines Crimson Leaf's operational scope:

> **Market Intelligence:** Analyzing macroeconomic trends, industry gaps, internal capability deficits, and B2B service opportunities to identify profitable and strategically aligned niches.

This is a **governance and architectural function**, not an affiliate marketing execution service.

If the Operator intends to:

1. **Request affiliate intelligence analysis as part of Tenant portfolio assessment** → Route through **Lyra (Intake)** or request hiring of a dedicated intelligence director role within the 8-agent limit.

2. **Launch an affiliate review site as a new Tenant** → This requires:
   - **Tenant charter design** (Chief Architect authority)
   - **CEO recruitment** (Director of Talent & Governance)
   - **Capital allocation** (Chief Capital Officer authority)
   - **Constitutional adjudication** (before `create_company` execution)

3. **Provide affiliate research to an external requestor** → This violates the charter's prohibition on **"Operating as a Service Provider"** and **"Commodity Execution."**

---

## Required Action

**Please clarify:**

- Is this request for **internal portfolio analysis** (Tenant incubation candidate)?
- Is this request for **external client delivery** (which would require a dedicated Tenant)?
- Should I route this through **existing intake channels** (Lyra)?

Once clarified, I can either:
- **Adjudicate the request** against charter scope, OR
- **Recommend hiring a specialized intelligence agent** within roster limits, OR
- **Route to the appropriate Tenant** if one exists.

What is the intended context?
